do you think john boehner was really even trying at this point? i think he knew the up and down vote would save his bacon, he would get a bill passed that they would have gotten the blame for if it didn't get passed. at this point it almost looks like he was doing what he had to do. >> well, yeah, he's got elements in his party that definitely wanted to address spending and he had to demonstrate that they did not have the votes to address spending today. spending needs to be cut, it needs to be cut and he said look, we're going to have to cut it later. so he had to walk through that. so a lot of this blowup about republicans are blowing up this bill, no, it was just an idea that if we don't talk about spending right now, it seemed like it was spineless. >> hold that thought. i want to bring in republican congressman david schiekert from arizona. congressman, everything i just said sounds like a bunch of baloney to you. you are not going to vote in favor of the bill as it stands, the senate bill? >> sorry about saying this about baloney -- >> it's
